Overview

The Sun Hi-Tele Zoom 85-210 mm f/4.8 T-mount is a compact, well-built lens with a unique gun grip that aids handheld stability and a useful preset stopdown trigger. Optically, it offers decent contrast and pleasing bokeh, but suffers from significant chromatic aberration, corner softness, coma, and vignetting wide open. Sharpness is lacking, especially at the edges, though stopped down it improves in the center. It suits budget-conscious shooters seeking a quirky portrait lens or collectors, but not those needing high image quality.
